The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a breathtaking new deep field image of the galaxy cluster Abell S1063, ...

The James Webb Space Telescope captured this stunning image of a galaxy cluster so massive that it serves a gravitational ...

How is this possible? These two distinct aspects of JWST images are the result of the same phenomenon, called gravitational lensing. First predicted over 100 years ago by Albert Einstein ...

A new publication introduces the rapidly growing field of multi-messenger gravitational lensing, which combines ...

In 1987, an enormous blue arc, thought to be hundreds of trillions of miles long, was first considered one of the largest ...

This phenomenon is known as gravitational lensing, and its effects are clearly visible in the new images from Webb. The first image from James Webb, showing the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 and the ...

The gravitational lens created by the galaxy in the foreground creates four images of the active galaxy, each with a bright galactic core and two large jets of material extending from it.

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the remote galaxy HerS 020941.1+001557, which appears as a red arc that ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image offers us the chance to see a distant galaxy now some 19.5 billion light-years from Earth (but appearing as it did around 11 billion years ago, when the ...
